To craft Midnight Angler's Grand Line, you need to combine an Angler's Bloomline and an Angler's Glimmerline. These items can be created by combining lower quality fragments (which can be fished up in any Midnight zone), or purchased on the Auction House. All fragments are also purchasable on the Auction House.

Combining the lower quality parts works like this:
100 Shredded Bloomline → 1 Stranded Bloomline
20 Stranded Bloomline → 1 Weak Bloomline
5 Weak Bloomline → 1 Angler's Bloomline

100 Shredded Glimmerline → 1 Stranded Glimmerline
20 Stranded Glimmerline → 1 Weak Glimmerline
20 Weak Glimmerline → 1 Angler's Glimmerline

Angler's Bloomline + Angler's Glimmerline → Midnight Angler's Grand Line

This method means you will need 40,000 Shredded Glimmerline and 40,000 Shredded Bloomline total, if you were to craft every single piece.

2000 Shredded Bloomline/Shredded Glimmerline → 20 Stranded Bloomline/Stranded Glimmerline → 1 Weak Bloomline/Weak Glimmerline
400 Stranded Bloomline/Stranded Glimmerline → 20 Weak Bloomline/Weak Glimmerline → 1 Angler's Bloomline/Angler's Glimmerline

Equipping this to your Fishing pole grants the followng buff:

Midnight Angler's Grand Line

Midnight Fishing Skill increased by 50.

Midnight Fishing Perception increased by 150.

When fishing up a treasure in Midnight zones, gain another.

Noticed as of this post wowhead's tooltip is not updated yet with this effect so wanted to add a comment

Does anyone know if this stacks with the Algari Weaverline? Or does it replace it

Comment by Eonarion

Fairly certain this is a One Piece (anime) reference;

the "Grand Line" is a location in the show where the biggest pile of "treasure" is located (very TLDR)

Comment by Footzies

Good to know that Blizzard TOTALLY intended NORMAL players to be able to get this within a reasonable amount of time...

We're a week plus a few days in since Midnight early access launched. I fish a lot in the first few weeks of any expansion to build up my gold.

Here's what I've caught so far, in probably about 30 hours of fishing:

62 x Shredded Glimmerline
58 x Shredded Bloomline
12 x Stranded Glimmerline
3 x Stranded Bloomline

Note that you CAN catch the Bloomlines, which are equivalent to 100 Glimmerlines. I've only started catching Stranded Bloomlines in the past two days, not at launch, so they may have been introduced after launch, or the drop rate may have been boosted.

All this hardcore grind fishing stuff in the game but no character leveling experience for fishing casts is just not a thing?

Comment by WillowFae

Definitely passing on this item as a midcore casual, but thumbs up to the folks excited for this thing!

Comment by papakicks

It is stuck to the item you enchanted. So you'll want to wait for your Sin'dorei Reeler's Rod. Which kind of sucks. It means you can't start using this until you get that crafted.

i bought this thing just to help me with the egg, what am i doing to myself

Comment by Roguezs

This does in fact give you an additional patient treasure when one spawns. So you'll have 2 chests to click!

Comment by Oneminutemonkey

Double your treasure, double your disappointment.
This is absolutely not worth the time/energy/cost of collecting all those shredded and weak lines and forming them all into the big granddaddy. Whether you've somehow accumulated them yourself, or dropped 500k on the AH, all this is going to do is give you double chests of sorrow.

For instance, my last chest spawns were:

Bubbly Snapling
Bubbly Snapling

Angler's Deep Dive
Angler's Deep Dive

Mote of Wild Magic x 13
Shredded Bloomline x 3

Maybe if this thing doubled -all- of your fishing results or even just doubled the non-fish stuff you got from Lost Treasure and Careless Cargo pools, that would be something. But as it stands, I really can't recommend this if you're just after the egg.

Comment by Nordlyset

Unfortunately this replaces the Perception enchant, which is a huge disappointment

Comment by Hyooga

Double treasures is for sure not worth it, even if you're after the mount, but I really wish the effects of Skill and Perception were understood at least a little bit.
Right now the only valuable fish are 2 commons, and one uncommon.
If I add another 50 skill am I going to get less commons? If I add 150 perception does that increase the double catches, or give me more rares that sell for 1g ?
Is there even a difference? In the couple of times I've tested it seemed like perception buffs (food+phial) increased the double catch rate, maybe, but shouldn't it increase the rate of "rare resources" as per the description in the fishing log? I would assume that means more treasures or rarer fish, not 2x fish. So if that's the case, is Skill then responsible for the rarity of the fish you catch?
In other words the question is: will applying this to an Epic quality Sin'Dorei Angler's Rod reduce my Gold/hr compared to a common rod off the vendor?

The item is really cool on paper, but once again the implementation of fishing and the value of each fish is totally messed up.
TWW was considerably worse because of the shark sniping, but once again the rarest fish have little to no use while a couple of commons are really all you want to catch, which totally breaks the progression, and the theoretical value of something like the grand line, or of a specific Midnight fishing pole at all.
25 years, you'd think they'd figure at least this one out. At a minimum they should figure that absolutely not a single soul is wasting 30s every 5m right clicking fish for buffs because they don't even know what they do or if they even do anything.
Would sincerely love to hear from the designer and learn what the idea was.

Comment by FlipperPA

Why would anyone want this? The most valuable fish is white quality—the Arcane Wyrmfish, used in Silvermoon Parade feasts. The Lynxfish is also somewhat valuable, as it is used in the feasts too. Just look at AH prices to confirm; Arcane Wyrmfish go for about 120g, while most green quality goes for 1-2g, and blue quality sells for about 20g.

Increasing your perception too high makes you catch the less valuable green and blue fish.

What am I missing?

Comment by Utharkruna

Has anyone asked the basic question yet "Is the potential to fish up x2 treasure" worth the effort to make this item and apply it to a fishnig rod?

Comment by SargerasWasRight

If you put in the effort to get 600+ perception and use ominous octopus lures you will more than make back the money you spend buying this. On my AH buying the green quality lines and combining them was cheaper than buying the white lines (ha) or epic/finished product itself. People will be buying the octopus right until the end of the expansion and getting 2x catches adds up fast. I got like 508 or so in an hour and a half. And that's not even taking into account the weapon mogs you fish up which you can sell, though the price and market of those has dropped a lot.

Also, I got the mount egg within 15 minutes of using this and all the perception buffs. I feel that was exceptionally fast, but it will absolutely make getting the egg easier. I didn't even buy the line for the egg, it was just a bonus.

Comment by Henoo

Ok so i have been casting in silvermoon pool like arouind 5k casts got like 1:300 Patient Treasures. I came on voidspire to fish and got Nether-Warped egg under 100 cast. was so lucky but it is confimerd u can get egg as a loot

Comment by Utharkruna

The fever has well and truly broken and this item is under 65,000g as viewed from <Outland> today.
Down from the hyper inflated 450,000g at the Midnights start.

And I'm still totally uninterested in buying one as I've seen the rate that I fish up a single Chests in the interim months.
What is double 5 chests? My math is a little hazy when I start getting in to large number mathematics!
